Each session offers opportunities to share experiences, gain resources, and build connections. Meetings alternate monthly between in‑person and virtual sessions for added flexibility.

During the in-person sessions, light snacks and refreshments will be provided. EVOLVE’s Kinship Support Group will be facilitated by Cierra Buckner, LSW, in partnership with EVOLVE. Each in-person session will be at the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation(451 Lexington Parkway N, St. Paul, 55104) in the Merriam Park 2410 space.
